Medical heads: Why do so many NBA players bald?

How so?? The more estrogen and less testosterone, the more hair. Why do you think women don't go bald the way that men do???

Fact is, men have simply been ACCULTURATED (through years of conditioning) to believe that a full head of hair is sexy and attractive, when in reality (based on biology) it's the other way around. A balding man is more sexually powerful than a man with a luxurious head of hair. Masculine James Bond/Sean Connery vs. the foppish Prince.

Most things in life aren't really the way we THINK they are.
So your saying that a fat bald guy actually has more juice than an 18 year old dread.

Your logic is faulty.

Running up and down a basketball court, running from city to city, and hotel diets have aged the 4 game a week, has aged the young basketball player, not the vigor or the testosterone level. The self described virgin A.C. Green, who had a full hair level testosterone levels would have been off the charts...

Adrenaline should be more of a focus rather just simply thinking because one shoots baskets for a living would make them more potent than say a boxer, or a bicyclist.

Faulty argument

High testosterone levels WITH ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL causes hair loss

Pop Science (theory) Stress is a form of long term fear - fear secretes makes the adrenaline producing glands (adrenals) work until they are fatigued - and therre is a link with some people and testosterone and adrenaline

TMI Warning I was doing sales a while back and to make myself more aggressive I decided to not *cough* "watch porn" :hmm: a couple MONTHS into it my hair started thinning (If I was younger I think I'd be straight) It could have been stress as well most likely a combination of all three

I think this is why all them monks are bald too...abstinence prolly got them all backed up :smh:

Coffee and vitamins usually help baldness. And to that guy who thinks women don't bald, just sit in a beauty saloon for a couple of hours or watch some of the weave commercials.
 
A lot of mis-information in this thread.Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia) is genetic and has more to with he production of the Androgen DHT than Than the abundance Testosterone. Since women can suffer from this as well you don't need to have a large amount of Testosterone to suffer from it. I would love the thought of additional sexual prowess being a side effect of baldness but it's not. I'm just a Horny Bald dude with an over active libido. If a women wants to believe otherwise fine. I'll fuck her into a parallel dimension but it has nothing to with the fact I'm bald. It may have more to do with eating right and exercise.

What is androgenetic alopecia?

Androgenetic alopecia is a common form of hair loss in both men and women. In men, this condition is also known as male-pattern baldness. Hair is lost in a well-defined pattern, beginning above both temples. Over time, the hairline recedes to form a characteristic "M" shape. Hair also thins at the crown (near the top of the head), often progressing to partial or complete baldness.

The pattern of hair loss in women differs from male-pattern baldness. In women, the hair becomes thinner all over the head, and the hairline does not recede. Androgenetic alopecia in women rarely leads to total baldness.

Androgenetic alopecia in men has been associated with several other medical conditions including coronary heart disease and enlargement of the prostate, a walnut-sized gland in males that is located below the bladder. Additionally, prostate cancer, disorders of insulin resistance (such as diabetes and obesity), and high blood pressure (hypertension) have been related to androgenetic alopecia. In women, androgenetic alopecia is associated with an increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is characterized by a hormonal imbalance that can lead to irregular menstruation, acne, excess body hair (hirsutism), and weight gain.
How common is androgenetic alopecia?

Although androgenetic alopecia is a frequent cause of hair loss in both men and women, it is more common in men. This form of hair loss affects an estimated 35 million men in the United States. Androgenetic alopecia can start as early as a person's teens and risk increases with age; more than 50 percent of men
over age 50 have some degree of hair loss. In women, hair loss is most likely after menopause.
